Description
Oaklands is an early 19th-century house with a symmetrical front facing south. It has two storeys and features large curved two-storey bays on either side of a central entrance, which has one window above it. The low-pitched hipped slate roof has wide coved eaves soffits, and around the bays, this roof transitions into a thin moulded cornice with very shallow modillions, a frieze, and a moulding above the window frames. The walls are made of red brick in Flemish bond, with some blue headers, including on the bays at each level. Each bay contains three sashes with a configuration of 3-4-3 lights, while the central window is a wide sash set in reveals.
The entrance features a richly ornamented doorcase with a segmental pediment, where the cornice is adorned with small carved modillions. The broken entablature on each side continues as a pulvinated frieze and an architrave. Above fluted seven-eighths columns, there are angular Ionic capitals, and the reveal is curved at the top and sides to meet a thin reeded architrave. The entrance door is a six-panelled design with glazed top panels. The house is almost square in shape, and while some similar features can be found on the other elevations, those have been altered and added to more recently.
